This is a syllabus for the course Media Literacy: Decoding Media Images and Messages. You’ll see that it’s broken into sections: Foundations, Representation, Advertising & Branding, News & Celebrity Culture, Globalization/Transnationalism, Media Activism/New Media/Media Labor.
I taught this course twice and it got a great response from students. I strongly recommend both the blog assignment, and also the final group project on media justice. Feel free to email me with any questions: [email protected]
